Meet Your New School Counseling Intern
Hello! My name is Jessica Wade and I am completing an internship with Mrs. Sledge this semester in the school guidance office. I am a graduate student at UNC Charlotte studying to earn my Master’s in School Counseling. Completing this internship at Kennedy Middle School is a part of my final course requirements at UNC Charlotte, as I am planning to graduate this spring! I am excited about this opportunity to work with KMS and gain experience that I can carry with me into my career. I am originally from Fort Mill, SC, but I have lived in Charlotte for the past few years. In my free time I enjoy reading, practicing yoga, and cheering on the Clemson tigers. I am extending an invitation for parents and students to contact me with any questions or concerns about my role as an intern this semester. The Guidance Office provides one-on-one counseling, peer mediation, group counseling, and classroom guidance lessons. I believe each student should have access to every opportunity that will allow them to excel academically, emotionally, and in their future careers.

The loveisrespect National Youth Advisory Board created Respect Week as a special way for young people to raise awareness during Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (Teen DV Month) in February. This year, our theme for Teen DV Month is “Setting Boundaries,” and you can get more information on setting healthy boundaries at loveisrespect.org. We created this guide to inspire students and youth leaders around the country to actively and creatively promote messages about dating violence and healthy relationships in their own communities.
